You’re like the Bob Ross of 3D printing. Everything is so chill and nice. I never felt so relaxed while watching a KZbin channel. I came across your video while looking for reviews on what the best 3D printer is and I was not taking it seriously but now I’m incredibly invested in your channel. Thank you for doing the side by side comparison as well. SUBSCRIBED!!

[@TheCrafsMan]

I REALLY appreciate you giving my channel a chance. Thank you, so much.

Wow, have never watched one of your videos till today. Fantastic content, extremely informative and helpful. Thank you for taking so much time to make something of this quality!

[@jb7136]

Thanks for the side-by-side. I'm saving up for a 3D printer & don't know much about them. This helps. Also, thanks for calming my ride to drop off the kids at school this morning. Them people are aggressive in the school drop off line. I told my wife TheCrafsMan always says just be nice. Let 'em have the way and don't worry about them. You've already brightened my whole day. :D

[@pheenix42]

Prototyping is exactly why these machines were invented, Crafsman. Shortens the process of manufacturing by quite a bit when you can get an item that didn't have to be specially hand-crafted for the engineers to use...but, when ordinary folks got hold of them, they came up with ideas for use the engineers never considered. Consider them another tool in the crafting toolbox!

[@NilsBeasley]

I watch this whenever I'm feeling down. It brings me right back up!

[@quartelli]

Fair play, this is an awesome video for so many reasons. The voice alone not to mention the below. The value of information described. The in depth review...... and most of all, from my point of view.........The comedic value (whether intentional or not) is pure viewing gold. Subbed for all the above.

[@krosettedesigns]

Thanks for showing the issue you were having... This makes the video more relateable and real... I’m sick of these super perfect edited videos.. This was very helpful and SUPER FUN TO WATCH!!!!

[@angies6311]

I love the Crafsman (and Crafsmama). The most fun I've I had watching KZbin in a long while! You are an inspiration Crafsman.

[@TheCrafsMan]

We really appreciate you, Angie! Thank you so much.

[@jamesoblivion]

Thank you so much, Crafsman, for this video! I've been anxious to get into 3D printing, but also cautious, and coming at it from an old school DIY perspective, I wasn't sure what you look out for, or that you could get such excellent results with such an affordable set-up. As always, you inspire me to be better, and to keep steady craftin.

[@bearvalley2010]

I am 45 year old man thats commenting for the first time ever on KZbin. Thank you for the informational yet, entertaining video. My wife walked by and actually said what show I was watching. Great productions values and you made me laugh out loud a few times. With that being said I am getting the Elegoo Mars!

[@ryanneal1734]

Smooth and chill, my Crafsman! I just purchased the photon last night for $269 w/ a bottle of resin. Was eyeing the Egloo Mars... glad I found this, doesn't seem to be a huge difference between the two. Love you videos!

[@XPSChaos]

I've been doing 3D printing for a while. The Photon S is not worth the price. Get the regular Photon. Its got better community support, more tools, and prints the same as the S version and is cheaper. Don't forget to hollow your bigger prints. It saves on resin and lowers the suction forces, especially if you have vent holes on the print, so it doesn't stick to your FEP sheet.

[@Pridetoons]

RepRaps aren't bad either.

[@mr.spongylikeaboss4987]

@@Dstinct I've not had a problem like that with the Mars so far.

[@senorcapitandiogenes2068]

@@Dstinct I have been using the og Photon for half a year now and I have never seen anything like that. And no Z-wobble at all, too

[@Draaza]

I think the Photon S is worth it simply for the fact that the matrix is about twice the Wattage of the original Photon (and is more powerful than any of the comparable printers, actually), so it can print that identical quality model in far less time. Shaving off over an hour isn't out there.

[@TheYuppiejr]

@@Draaza The matrix in the Mars is the same as the Photon-S (40w), but the z-axis is faster on the Mars meaning similar exposure times on both, but the Mars will print faster as it spends less time waiting on the build plate to rise and fall for each layer as shown in this video because of the slow Z-axis travel speed on both Photon models. For slightly more money than the Photon-S, you can get the Epax X1 which is a better printer in every way. The Epax has a better diffused 40w LED/LCD matrix, larger front panel display, full dual rail ball bearing supported z-rail (not just slides like the -S), an all metal chassis with a door that's hinged so it can open without requiring extra wall clearance, "out of box" calibration so it's ready to print as soon as it arrives, a better non-FEP vat film... and full US based support and parts availability. The Mars is the way to go all day long vs the Photon or Photon-S for a hobby grade 3D printer, unless you care to wait for the upgraded Mars Pro that's coming out in a month or two and further upgrades the LED matrix, z-rail, build plate and has improved filtration with a carbon filter along with a better sealing cover gasket for $300. Otherwise, at the $360 price point of the Photon-S I'd just stretch to $400 and buy the Epax X1 which is far better built and supported machine that is suitable for light production work.

Welcome to the world of 3d printing Crafsman! 🤗Got my elegoo mars last week. I was blown away at the quality and details I could get from prints. Before this I had fdm printers so it is a little bit of a learning curve figuring out supports as it is a different matter when it comes to resin.

[@sinformant]

I designed this years ago before having a printer. After getting an fdm printer I realized how hard it'd be to print properly, but on a resin printer it should be no problem. www.thingiverse.com/thing:1213868

Both fdm and resin can be challenging, and test the patience of even the most steadfast of us. Just keep at it!
